Tym pickups

IT'S ALIVE!!

The Tym high output A3 humbucker has been installed in its test bed for my friend to take to his studio and give it a bash.

After much talk about humbuckers and many, many (many) pickup (SD, DiMarzio, Maxon etc) swaps in his Les Pauls we decided I'd just try and make the humbucker he has in his head. He's a huge fan of the SD JBJ which is a "version" of the SD JB. I'm not particularly a humbucker guy but I do like the JB, A LOT.

He also likes the A3 PAFs although they have much lower output so after looking around and not really finding anyone making really high output A3 humbuckers I thought I'd just mix the 2 and make what is essentially a JB with A3 magnet from scratch.

So, this is a 50mm spacing, "short" A3 magnet humbucker that reads 15.6K with 7.5H*. It has plenty of output voltage and looks good on the scope.

It sounds great to me, plays well with the neck pickup and can be swapped back out easily if it's not what he wants. 

* Yes, we know DCR doesn't mean much in relation to output/tone but it's still the most common method of describing it. The 7.5H is a more accurate understanding but most people don't know what it means.
